About this map

Fairview Sch stands as a central marker of rural life in this 1974 survey of the South Dakota prairie. The landscape in this portion of Sully County is defined by a dense network of small depressions and seasonal wetlands, many of which are protected by the National Waterfowl Production Area. These natural features, characteristic of the region's glacial topography, dominate the terrain alongside agricultural field patterns and section-line roads.

Water and conservation are primary themes on this sheet, with Stone Lake located in the northeast corner. This area includes the Stone Lake State Public Shooting Area, while the Hofer State Public Shooting Area occupies a portion of the southern landscape. Apart from a local Gravel Pit, the map depicts a quiet, decentralized community focused on land management and prairie conservation during the mid-1970s.
